ground after the middle of September
in order to get the most growth possi
ble.
It is absolutely necessary to inocu
late the seed the first year. The in
oculation will be found in a can in
the bag of seed, and inoculation will be
simple and easy. Just put a little
sugar water in a tub of seed and stir
with seed until well dampened and
sprinkle the inoculation in and mix
with the seed. Directions will be with
the inoculation. Sow seed soon after
inoculation, and cover as soon as
possible. This is simple but necessary.
If you follow these simple directions
you should get a good crop.
The Georgia Railroad demonstration
shows a doubling of corn yield the first
year, at McDaniel’s Crossing, on high
way two miles above Conyers. This
is as poor soil as there is in the
county I suppose, as it has had the
soil removed and used on the highway.
Crop on it last year was a failure,
but has good com on it this year
whore vetch or peas were used, and
very poor in the center where no vetch
and peas were used. Mr. Pots has as
good demonstration on cotton. Why
not sow vetch and double the yield as
is being done in many places in this
county and other counties. Some coun
ties are sowing two to four car loads
of these seeds this fall. Why should
Rockdale County stay behind when we
know how to get ahead and make
money? Build your soil and the soil
will yield you good crops. That is
what we need most.
For more information on the value
of these crops, see the following men
in Rockdale County, who know their
value: L. A. Bowen, G. S. Potts, Dr.
F. C. McDaniel, Carl Granade. W. L
King and others. These crops will pay
you.
Alfalfa should be sown early in
October where possible. How much
lime and seed do you want? Let’s
get together on this and have every
thing ready. Three tons of lime and
forty pounds of seed per acre is about
right.
To make a lot of good hay next
spring sow a mixture of wheat, oats
and vetch this fall. One bushel of
oats, three pecks of wheat and ten
pounds of vetch with 200 pounds of
acid phosphate per acre is about
right.

Since 1921 the FARMERS of Rockdale County have experi
enced some very hard years and at times seemed impossible for a
large number of them to continue operating their farms.
’.i
The BANK OF ROCKDALE has never lost confidence in
Rockdale County and her people. Although, at times the future
did not seem so bright, we continued to believe in our people and
did our best to finance the worthy FARMERS of our section. Not
si year since 1920, have we failed to meet the demands of the
worthy people of this section. We are glad to say that our policy
has proven to be right as every dollar loaned duiing these past
years has been repaid promptly and highly appreciated by our
good customers.
Today, we feel that the financial conditions of this section
are very much improved and the old BANK OF ROCKDALE is
proud that she had a part in helping to bring back these condi
tions.
WE ARE NOW ASKING OUR GOOD PEOPLE TO START
NOW AND SET ASIDE FUNDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE
RAINY DAYS IN THE FUTURE. WE INVITE YOU TO
PLACE YOUR ACCOUNT WITH US. WE SERVE OUR
CUSTOMERS.
WE ASANT YOU TO FEEL THAT THE BANK OF ROCK
DALE IS YOUR BANK. *
